What is the best type of meditation?
This is a common question, as people are always asking what type of meditation is the best to try. Is there a type of meditation to help me relax? Pain? Help me sleep better at night? Awaken me to my spiritual greatness?
The answer is simple and involves some homework on your end.
There is no single best type of meditation. And there’s not a single, best meditation audio or cd. There’s not the single-best meditation technique or teacher.
Each of one of us are individuals with unique needs, experiences and desires. That being said, it only makes sense to realize that each person will experience the types of meditation in a very different way.
There is no right or wrong meditation, but rather there is the right kind of meditation for you. Begin to meditate using different techniques, audios and guides and pay attention to what resonates the most with you. Is there one type of meditation that brings you to a deep state of mind? Is there that one meditation audio that really helps you to live in the present?
Some types of meditation for you to try are:
Healing Meditation: A great meditation to start off with if you have physical ailments
Guided Meditation: I recommend guided meditations for beginners because you have someone guiding you through your meditation experience
Walking Meditation: Not sure if you can sit in one place for an extended period of time? Do some research to learn more about walking meditation and how it can benefit you.
And the list goes on….
